"Dreams" 12-1-2004 , By: Daniel McCree

December 1, 2004                 

    "Dreams"

I was very happy to be with a group

of people that were all nice +

comforting  to be with.  One man showed us a

home movie of him doing a sort of  battle like dance with a bison.

We were all on a beautiful

island with hundreds of people. My

friend from high school was with us

+ after the man showed us the  clip + talked for awhile I guess

we all went to sleep.   When I  woke up I stepped out of the room

and headed toward the bathroom.

All of the people on the island were

very attractive + I felt good to

be among them. I felt something  strange in my mouth like my

tooth on my left side was loosining.

 Panic set in + I tried to keep calm. I reached a mirror + was horrified

to find my front teeth falling out.

I pressed them back in + went out

to the beach where there were many people.

I noticed dolphins swimming + decided

to swim.  I met a dolphin + its stern

was soft.  It talked to me + gave

much sympathy.

I'm careining (Careening) a little right now

I know I'm gonna be alright

and I  also know Ive made

mistakes and missed maneuvers

which may have taken me a

I'm generally either "on" or "OFF", in that you may think of me as outgoing, but just as often, im really quite

reclusive in nature. And enjoy time alone with my own thoughts to keep me company. ...now ya know:) Professionally, I am a Housing Counselor with a non-profit organization in St. Louis. I joined the justinePETERSEN organization, just a week or so after Daniel passed away. He himself had urged me to pursue the "non-profit" aspect of real estate, and JP at that time was actually located along "McCree Ave" yet another sign it was the right place for me.

Ezekiel Project is an outreach ministry geared

towards individuals and families affected by

HIV/AIDS.  Founded in 2006, this vibrant group includes both church congregants, and non-

Ezekiel Project strives to be a "Living Legacy" to

all those who are no longer with us, and those who continue to live with HIV.  As some of you may know, Daniel McCree was instrumental in this outreach from it's inception until his passing in

2007.  Therefore, we continue this cause and wish to support it however possible. 

Metropolitan Community Church of Greater Saint Louis (MCCGSL)

has announced the plans for this years Ezekiel Project Retreat.  The church will host this years annual retreat, held on April 30,

2011 in Soulard.  This years retreat is a one-day event, and is

FREE of charge.   Breakfast & Lunch will be provided for

participants, and speakers from various organizations will offer

workshops throughout the day.

Ezekiel Project facilitates an annual retreat, maintains a memorial

and meets monthly to offer a safe-space for socializing & support

by others.  It also volunteers its efforts throughout the year with

projects such as "Dining Out for Life", World AIDS Day, and the

International Candlelight vigil held each year.

This year the Ezekiel team will be volunteering at SQUARE ONE

BREWERY grill in Lafayette Square, in support of Dining out for Life.  More details can be found at www.MCCGSL.org.

Heaven's Ahead Mister~Just Do What you Do

www.DanielMcCree.Org

February 1, 2011

Notes from the Editor:

February is here, and the cold has not only set in,

but makes the bones brittle under the warmth-

stealing winds. So in the past few months, so many

things have come to pass, and much of the routines

I have held for nearly 4 years has come to a rather

abrupt change.

In the days leading up to the path diversion I came

accross this quote... which Daniel wrote in 2005. It

along with a better known quote, really guided me

through some decisions that could not be made

without careful reflection.

"...Reparitions bestowed upon soluble society and chunks for monkeys; Heavens ahead mister.

Just do what you do..." D.McCree (2005)"

My own personal interpretation, simply leads me to know in my heart that the right decisions are

not without challenge, and that chunks, while hard to swallow, are indeed life-sustaining.

Okay, enough bush beating... Many of you may already know that at the end of January, I felt

called to resign my position at justinePETERSEN. A job I began just weeks after Daniel's passing

in 2007. The "JP" Family was such an amazing and supportive environment to work in, and a

chapter I was very reluctant to close.

That being said, I am excited and faith-challenged to announce my

newest venture, SmartChoice Center. Actually a side-project/ hobby I

began with my former partner Chad back in 2005.

Over the past few years we would often turn to this project for a little

extra income, as well as the expertise needed to create such places

as www.DanielMcCree.Org & BellevillePride.com.

I dont think either of us would have imagined that in 2011, I would turn

to the project as a full-time career. I must admit that at least in the first month, things are indeed

terrifying but arent the most exciting adventures?

So for those of you who's ongoing support make this endeavor possible, I thank you from the

deepest root of the vine. I shall continue to listen for that voice we all know, that often can be rather

demanding-Or at least absolute in "sureness".

Please join me on Facebook and online: www.SmartChoiceSTL.com

Your ongoing love and support is always appreciated.

post and they say this but whats a jewel, a person who needs to

be there, the day melded, a few riduclous moments, some

laughter

and i nervously laughed and joined in the melody. "
